Here are six ways to become more active as a family.
1. Set Activity Times
Try doing something active after dinner, or begin the weekend with a morning walk.
2. Work Around the House
Involve the kids in yard work and other active chores.
3. Build New Skills
Enroll the kids in classes or a youth sports team they might enjoy.
4. Plan for All Weather
Activities that don’t depend on weather conditions are great backup plans should Mother Nature not cooperate.
5. Start Small
Introduce one activity and add more when you feel everyone is ready.
6. Treat the Family With Fun Physical Activity
When it’s time to celebrate, do something active as a reward.
